The show opens up and the pyro goes off around the stage as Mike Tenay and Taz welcome us to TNA Xplosion. They quickly recap the last episode of iMPACT Wrestling, talking about the continuation of the TNA Knockouts Championship Tournament, the return of Garett Bischoff, and the effect he and Ethan Carter III had on the Bound For Glory Series, specifically concerning Jeff Hardy’s match with Samoa Joe. They then talk a little bit about the situation surrounding Jeff Hardy and Willow, and what EC3 and Garett Bischoff are doing about it. They then show us the updated Bound For Glory Series Leaderboard before announcing that two more Bound For Glory Series Matches are going to take place!

All of a sudden they are cut off by the sound of MVP’s music. MVP makes his way out to the ring in a very expensive suit and looks utterly pissed off. MVP makes his way down the ramp and when he gets to the end of the ramp he grabs a mic from a stagehand and the chair he was sitting in. MVP throws the chair into the ring and makes his way up the steel steps and into the ring. He then grabs the chair and sets it up right in the middle of the ring, then unbuttons his suit jacket and sits in the chair and goes to speak as he is being booed by the audience.

MVP Promo:

MVP begins speaking and talks about how it is absolutely ridiculous that not only is he not in the Bound For Glory Series, he hasn’t been featured on TNA Television at all since Kurt Angle took over as Executive Director of Wrestling Operations. Not on iMPACT Wrestling, not on Xplosion, not on television period. He says that he wasn’t even supposed to be on the show, he wasn’t scheduled, but he heard Kurt was out of the building doing press for TNA so he decided to come out here and make his own time if Kurt wasn’t going to give him any. He says that his name is MVP for a reason, and that’s because it means something, it stands for something… that he is the Most Valuable Playa in TNA! He says the fact that Kurt Angle can’t realize that goes to show his own stupidity and how blind Kurt is to talent and why Angle should have never replaced him as Executive Director of Wrestling Operations in the first place.

The crowd continually boos MVP, and he doesn’t seem to care as he just continues speaking.

MVP says the fact that Kurt Angle is the one holding a grudge against him, and taking it out on him by not putting him on television makes no sense at all. He says that he should be the one holding a grudge, the one with a vendetta against Kurt because Angle replaced him as Executive Director of Wrestling Operations. He says that’s another bone he has to pick, being replaced as Executive Director of Wrestling Operations. He says he was doing an absolutely fine job and everything he was doing was in the best interest of company, he was doing what was best for business. He says that now that Kurt Angle is in charge, he is running TNA into the ground, and it’s by making simple mistakes like not featuring MVP on TNA TV. MVP says that if he was still in charge nothing like this would happen, he says heck Kurt Angle isn’t even here, he is out doing “press” for the company, whatever that means, but it goes to show how much Kurt actually cares about TNA and the company’s direction.

The crowd is soundly booing MVP at this point, but it is not deterring him in speaking his mind as he continues on talking.

MVP says that and since Kurt isn’t here, and since he isn’t going to get any TV time with Kurt around, he is going to continue to stay out here and take advantage of the opportunity by continuing to take up all the television time by airing more of his grievances, and he has a lot of grievances with Kurt Angle and TNA. MVP then says that they can go ahead and cancel the two Bound For Glory Series Matches because he is highjacking this episode of Xplosion. So he tells everyone to sit back, relax and enjoy the show, and specifically pay attention to and listen closely to what he has to say because things are about to get very interesting. He tells the people at home not to touch the remote and change the channel because he is going to be here all show, sitting in this chair, airing his grievances against Kurt Angle and TNA!

MVP starts airing his grievances by first going after and attacking the fans.

MVP says one of his grievances is with the people in the crowd and the people watching at home on TV. He says they are just as big a part of the problem why he isn’t on TV as Kurt Angle is. He says they buy into and buy the merchandise of the people on the roster who pander to them, and by pandering to you they get put on TV. MVP says that’s another problem and a grievance he’s got, the people on the roster pandering to the fans to get on TV. MVP says it’s not his problem that he is the Realest Playa in the Room and will shoot straight with everybody and tell you how it is, specifically how he has been telling people he is the Most Valuable Playa in TNA, and deserves to be known as the Main Event Playa in TNA.

We head to a commercial break as MVP is still talking while sitting down in the middle of the ring.

Commercial.

We come back from the commercial break as Mike Tenay and Taz enlighten us on the situation telling us that nothing has changed during the commercial break except for MVP continuing to rant and rave while sitting in the middle of the ring, literally highjacking the Xplosion show.

MVP is continuing to talk until all of a sudden all of the audience’s attention is directed towards the entrance ramp, and MVP is wondering what is going on and why people aren’t paying attention to him, and he stops talking and shifts in his chair to turn towards the entrance ramp where he sees three men, Al Snow, Pat Kenney (the former Simon Diamond), and Tommy Dreamer, the TNA Backstage Producers, making their way down the entrance ramp towards the ring. The three men walk into the ring and surround MVP as he continues to sit down and MVP lowers the mic, but the mic is still able to pick up some of what the men are saying.

MVP asks what this is all about, and Al Snow tells him he can’t be having MVP highjack the show, and he is going to politely ask him to go back to the backstage area. Pat Kenney tells MVP that they have a show to run and two Bound For Glory Series Matches to get to, and he is cutting time short. Tommy Dreamer asks him to just come on and go to the back and that they don’t want any problems. MVP, continuing to sit, asks what they are going to do about it, and both Al Snow and Tommy Dreamer reach for the arms of MVP as they are going to attempt to escort him to the back, and MVP freaks out and stands up and tells them not to touch him or his expensive suit. Pat Kenney once more asks MVP to come on and go to the back and MVP then grabs the chair folds it up, and acts like he is going to head to the back and as Al Snow and Tommy Dreamer turn their backs to him to head to the back, MVP turns around and cracks the chair right across the skull of Pat Kenney, who rolls out of the ring slowly.

Al Snow and Tommy Dreamer quickly turn around and run towards MVP, trying to stop him from the attack with the chair, but MVP rams the chair into the gut of both Snow and Dreamer and then smacks the chair right across the back of both of them knocking them down. MVP then takes off his suit jacket and tie, and rips his shirt as the crowd is loudly booing him now. He has the chair in hand as he looks down at the destruction he has left and then looks back up at the crowd. MVP then seems to snap again and grabs Al Snow by the head and lifts him up to his feet while throwing the chair down to the ground. MVP then grabs Snow by the head in a single underhook and hits him with the Oyasumi DDT onto the chair. MVP then gets back up and stares at the downed Al Snow whom is out and MVP then kicks Al Snow out of the ring. MVP then turns back towards the ring and sees Tommy Dreamer starting to move. MVP then kicks the chair towards the center of the ring, grabs Dreamer by the head and picks him up to his feet and puts him in a single underhook and drops him too with an Oyasumi DDT on the chair. MVP then stands again, grabs the chair and looks around the ring at the destruction he has left in his wake. MVP then makes his way out of the ring and is going to make his way up the ramp but sees Pat Kenney moving in his path and MVP cracks the chair over the skull of Pat Kenney once more knocking him back down and out. MVP then backs his way up the ramp, holding the chair, as he continually is saying I’m the Most Valuable Playa, I’m the Main Event Playa, while having a smirk on his face.

We come back from commercial and we see highlights of what happened before the break. Mike Tenay and Taz talk about the deplorable actions from MVP and why he committed the acts, citing his frustration, They note that MVP is lucky those three producers were all former wrestlers themselves or someone could have seriously been injured, because they at least have dealt with this type of punishment before, noting that luckily they were able to get up during the break and make it to the back with the assistance from trainers.

We then go to the back where Jeremy Borash is standing in the interview area. He begins by welcoming his guest, one participant in the Bound For Glory Series Match in our Main Event, ‘The Cowboy’ James Storm. Borash starts by asking Storm about his first Bound For Glory Series Match a Draw against RHINO. Storm answers by saying that RHINO got lucky that the ref counted ten for a double countout draw, because if there was one more second remaining he would’ve rolled in the ring and got the easy victory. But ‘The Cowboy’ says that’s ok because he still got two points out of it, which is two points closer to Bound For Glory and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Borash then asks his thoughts on his upcoming Bound For Glory Series Match against his former Beer Money partner Bobby Roode. Storm responds by saying that he is not thinking about facing Bobby Roode, he is just thinking about facing and beating another Bound For Glory Series opponent. He says that the feud with his former partner Bobby Roode is in the past, but one thing has changed. Storm says Roode has gotten even softer, which he thought was impossible because that was one of the reasons he decided to break up Beer Money in the first place. Storm says but if that makes the victory for him that much easier because he already knows Roode so well, then so be it. He says but don’t get him wrong, that doesn’t mean he is going to take it any easier on Bobby Roode than he did in the past. He says if it’s going to take beating Roode to a pulp once again to send a message about how serious is he is about winning the Bound For Glory Series and TNA World Heavyweight Championship, well then he is going to do exactly that because he wants to make sure he wins, make sure he gets the points and wants to make sure he goes on to Bound For Glory to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Storms says and when it’s all said and done he is going to be kicking back, drinking a beer with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship Gold.

The cameras cut back to Mike Tenay and Taz after the interview and hype up our first Bound For Glory Series Match, Austin Aries taking on Magnus.

The music of Austin Aries then hits as the camera pans to the entrance way where Austin Aries is making his way down the ramp. He is cheered by the TNA crowd and slaps hands with a few of the fans before making his way into the ring. Magnus is out next to sound boos from the audience as he just laughs at them and waves them off and gets into the ring for his Bound For Glory Series Matchup with Austin Aries.

Match 1: BFG Series: Austin Aries vs. Magnus

The match begins with a lockup and Magnus gaining control with a headlock. Aries backs Magnus up to the ropes and pushes him off but Magnus counters with a European uppercut, followed by another, sends Aries against the ropes and runs after him and connects with a rebound clothesline. This maneuver keeps Magnus in control of the beginning portion of the matchup. The tide turns in the middle of the matchup when Magnus goes for a slingshot elbow drop, but is knocked off the apron by a discus elbow smash to the face from Aries. Aries then goes for the Heat Seeking Missile but Magnus moves and redirects Aries into the steel barricade. Both men are down outside the ring as the ref begins the count… 1… 2… 3… and both men begin to move. Magnus is first to his feet as Aries crawls around and Magnus comes over and grabs Aries by the head, the ref continuing the count… 4… 5… and Magnus drops Aries back down to the ground outside with the Magnus Driver and the refs count continues… 6… 7… and Magnus rolls back into the ring and tells the ref to count.

All of a sudden the audience begins to cheer as their attention is directed towards the entrance ramp where Bully Ray is sprinting his way down the ramp and around the ring, the refs count reaches 8. Magnus notices and asks what the hell he is doing but Bully Ray ignores him and sprints right over to Austin Aries, the refs count reaches 9, and grabs him and throws him in the ring beating the 10 count. Magnus gets upset as he can’t get the countout victory and he stares down Bully Ray who makes his way back around the ring and halfway up the entrance ramp, as Magnus climbs on the bottom turnbuckle pointing at Bully Ray. Bully Ray points to Magnus to look behind him as the previously downed Austin Aries is too his feet. Magnus then gets down and turns and Aries charges for the IED, but Magnus is able to duck the dropkick and move out of the way. Aries’ leg gets caught up on the top rope as he dangles upside down against the turnbuckle. Magnus smiles as he grabs Aries by the head and lifts him up. Magnus then puts his head under Aries’ arm and hits him with the Spineshaker. Magnus goes for the cover and gets the 3 count victory.

Mike Tenay and Taz talk about the victory for Magnus before they are cut off by Bully Ray who is asking for a mic. Bully Ray grabs the mic from a nearby stagehand, still about halfway up the entrance ramp and he begins to talk, as Magnus continues to gloat about his victory despite Bully Ray stopping Magnus from winning by countout victory.

Bully Ray says that Magnus got lucky, but he isn’t going to be so lucky when all of this, the Bound For Glory Series, is all over, because Magnus isn’t going to be the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Bully Ray tells Magnus that his victory over him by countout a few weeks ago was bullshit... it was a fluke and a bush league move. Bully Ray says he isn’t going to allow Magnus to ruin the Bound For Glory Series by constantly winning by countout and trying to cakewalk his way to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, he is not going to have it and he is not going to allow it. Bully Ray tells Magnus that whenever Magnus has a match, he is going to be there, to stop him from winning by countout, hell he is going to stop him from winning at all. Bully Ray says that it is going to be over his dead body Magnus becomes a Paper TNA World Heavyweight Champion again because he beat him by countout.

Magnus grabs a mic from the stagehand and he cuts Bully Ray off which angers Bully and draws a lot of heat from the crowd in the form of boos.

Magnus says that Bully Ray is just jealous and angry that Magnus is currently in second place in the Bound For Glory Series Standings, and he beat him a couple weeks ago. Magnus says that no matter how hard Bully tries, he is not going to stop his rise to becoming TNA World Heavyweight Champion when he wins the Bound For Glory Series. Magnus then tells Bully Ray that he better stop worrying about him and worry more about winning matches and gaining points in the Bound For Glory Series, because he is currently in last place and if he doesn’t change that soon he will be on the outside looking in at the final four in the Bound For Glory Series Standings competing in a Fatal 4 Way Match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Bound For Glory.

Magnus drops the mic as he climbs the turnbuckle once more and raises his arms in victory. Bully Ray points at him and is yelling at him. The cameras then go to the back where once again Jeremy Borash is standing by. He welcomes his guest, the other participant in the Bound For Glory Series Match in our Main Event, Bobby Roode. Borash asks Roode for his thoughts on his first upcoming Bound For Glory Series Match in the Main Event against his former Beer Money partner James Storm. Bobby Roode says him knowing James so well works to his advantage because he knows how Storm ticks, he knows how he works, and this is going to help beat him. He says he heard what Storm had to say earlier and all he has to say is that when he beats James Storm in the ring tonight he is going to prove who the weaker Beer Money member was. And he says not only is he going to prove that, he is going to gain points in the Bound For Glory Series on his way to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Bobby Roode then walks off the set.

Mike Tenay and Taz then hype up our Main Event for the show, Bobby Roode taking on James Storm. The camera shows both men walking in the back heading towards the entrance way and ring for their match as the camera goes to a break.

Mike Tenay and Taz welcomes us back from the commercial break and continue hyping up our Main Event, a Bound For Glory Series Match between Bobby Roode and James Storm. They tell us though that before that match begins they have some important information for us regarding the next episode of iMPACT Wrestling. They tell us that Kurt Angle has received word of MVP’s actions from earlier in the show, and Kurt Angle has promised to call out MVP on the next episode of iMPACT Wrestling to explain his actions from earlier on this episode of Xplosion. They talk about the magnitude of the moment that is going to occur on iMPACT Wrestling between the two men and tell us that we aren’t going to want to miss it.

Bobby Roode is first out to the ring to cheers from the crowd. He slaps hands with a few of the audience members while making his way down the ramp and into the ring. James Storm is out next to boos from the audience, as he just chugs his beer on the way down to the ring, ignoring everyone, except for staring at his former Beer Money partner. Storm takes one last swig of his beer and then spits it on everyone in the audience before heading into the ring as the two adversaries get face to face.

Main Event: BFG Series: Bobby Roode vs. James Storm

The match begins with James Storm slapping Bobby Roode across the face. This angers Roode to the point that it starts a brawl, and the two men roll out of the ring and begin trading blows with each other. They brawl around the ring as the ref is counting… 1… 2… 3…4… the two men then separate from brawling and Bobby Roode charges at Storm and Storm redirects Roode right into the steel steps. Storm then grabs Roode by the head and throws him right into the steel guardrail as the ref continues counting… 5… 6… 7… and Storm then rolls in the ring with a big smirk on his face. Roode is able to make it back into the ring before the end of the 10 count but Storm maintains control of the matchup. The tide of the matchup turns when Bobby Roode escapes the Eye of the Storm and then blocks the Closing Time maneuver from Storm and Roode then takes control of the matchup. The ending of the matchup comes when Roode goes for the Northern Lariat which Storm ducks, Storm goes for the Last Call but Roode catches his foot, picks him up onto his shoulders and goes for the Roode Bomb but Storm lands on his feet and this time connects with the Last Call on a charging Roode for the victory.

Mike Tenay and Taz talk about the big victory for James Storm over his former Beer Money Tag Team partner. They then update us on the Bound For Glory Series Leaderboard which currently shows James Storm sitting in third place with 9 points. They thank us for watching Xplosion and remind us that Kurt Angle will be calling out MVP on the next episode of iMPACT Wrestling to explain his actions from earlier, and that we are not going to want to miss that. We get one final shot of James Storm celebrating his victory over his former Beer Money partner Bobby Roode as the camera fades to black.

Thanks dude. I'm a bit behind on my reviews and I owe you some so look for those soon.

So I pulled a WWE and changed a lot of the future planning I had already done previously, thus is why no new episode of iMPACT Wrestling has been posted yet. I like what I have planned this time around a bit more. It won't affect anything thats already taken place, and most of the matches for No Surrender are staying the same.

Look for the next episode of iMPACT Wrestling to be posted in the next couple days.

So I'm about halfway finished with iMPACT and I think this is the best episode I've written to date. I'm really excited for what I have planned out in the future. And I'll tell you this as a little preview, No Surrender really begins to take shape on this episode.

Great promo from MVP to open the show, and he made his frustrations clear by hijacking. The attacks showed how dangerous he is, and I liked it. I'm wondering what's next with him- but I hope this doesn't lead to a match with Kurt Angle in the future.

Nice promo from James Storm- good to see him mention the history between him & Bobby Roode. I hope we see a reunion in the future at some point.

Look who the fuck it is! Austin frickin' Aries. I was upset to see him lose to Magnus- but I think you did that to make me hate Magnus even more. I'm not a huge fan of Magnus anyway.

Decent promo from Magnus & Bully Ray- and this feud is heating up.

Standard promo from Bobby Roode.

Cool to see Storm get the win over Roode- I would've preferred Roode to get the win though, but that's just because I like Roode more. Good show overall- and I'm excited to see what Kurt has to say about MVP on the next Impact. Looking forward to it.

So I have just gotten back to school and I came to a realization that since I am in my last semester I want to do really good and knock this semester out of the park, while also balancing working part time. Its going to be tough and demanding and I am going to be on a very limited time constraint.

Thus I am not going to be able to commit to continuing this BTB... for now. I'm taking a break is all until after I finish up this last semester here at college, which will be 3 months, then I'm going to come back again to attempt and do this BTB, most likely after the holidays so more like 4 months. I'll still be on the site but I have no time right now to commit to doing this BTB and doing it justice. I'm looking forward to picking it back up in 4 months.

I am missing doing this greatly, buts its for the best in regards to my grades and finishing up my last semester.

I will say this though in regards to the TNA BTB, I am continuing to long term plan, so when I come back to writing these, the planning is already done, and I can just carry on writing and producing shows, and probably producing them at a greater volume.
